Whats in script3?
If you have a exec <something else e.g. menu...>
with a badly placed exit (or one too much..)
you can end up having parent script exit also, and so 4 and following are to never run...
I don't follow that. If my script, say pid 1223, invokes script B, a child process is created for script B, let's say it is pid 1337. Now script B can what it wants to pid 1337, but pid 1223 should stay intact.
One thing that script B might do is to obtain the pid of its parent and then explicitly kill that pid. To protect against that, we could do:
( scriptB )
The parentheses create a subshell and the subshell is now the parent of scriptB. We hope that scriptB will ignore its grandparent.
In the worst case,
echo /path/to/scriptB | at now
would totally disconnect scriptB, but now it's hard to wait for scriptB to finish.

Most of this was part of Parrallel::Runner intended for use in the Fennec project. Fennec is being broken into multiple parts, this is one
such part.
FENNEC PROJECT
This module is part of the Fennec project. See Fennec for more details. Fennec is a project to develop an extendable and powerful testing
framework. Together the tools that make up the Fennec framework provide a potent testing environment.
The tools provided by Fennec are also useful on their own. Sometimes a tool created for Fennec is useful outside the greator framework.
Such tools are turned into their own projects. This is one such project.
